FS Mobile: Logging In

Modified on Mon, 11 Mar at 4:20 PM

LOGGING IN

Before logging in with the scanner, make sure that your name appears as being logged in on the FieldStack POS device. Actions done on the scanner will associate with the user logged in at the time.

To log into FS Mobile, click the company name in the lower left of the screen.

A login pop-up will appear.

The first time you log in on a device you should make sure that your handheld is connected to - representing - a FieldStack device. Tap Choose a Device or click the large tile that shows the device and store info.

Another pop-up will show a list of available machines that can be pointed to. The handheld will act on behalf of whichever device you highlight – if that machine prints to a printer,  your device will trigger printing to that machine. Processes that occur on the handheld will show as being processed on the chosen device in transaction and item history.


NOTE: Upon login, the Mobile Device will mirror the Machine Settings of the device selected in the Choose a Device login pop-up. If any devices vary within a location, choosing a commonly unused device can cause functionality to be missing.



 

Each POS Device allows for one handheld to be paired with it, if you need to log into multiple devices from a single POS, additional Devices can be added (FieldStack Support can assist as needed) and a handheld can be directly associated with itself but a distinct machine can be selected to act as the printing device:


This will pair with the selected device while another will print on its behalf.
In this example the chosen device is testJANAM #99 and Print As was set to MAIN-OFFICE #51:


Once you have chosen the correct device to associate with, scan the QR code with your handheld by aiming at it and clicking the trigger button. If using the FieldStack Mobile features on a desktop, laptop, or tablet, click the Open button below the QR code to open the app in a web browser on your computer.

The system will authenticate your login, and open the online application that is associated with your store location.

On the navigation bar, tap the App Download icon to install FS Mobile to the devices app menu. This will allow you to use it with the navigation bar suppressed and will save screen space. This is recommended on handheld devices but is not required to use the application.

The QR Scanner Login box can be closed. You can log out of FieldStack on the POS device you logged into and utilize the mobile device to process items.

Transaction records in the system will be assigned to the user that is logged in when the scanner was logged into.

Logging Out of FieldStack Mobile


When you are finished using the handheld device, tap on the Logout button at the bottom of the menu screen. This will return to a blank login in screen and ensure that no additional activity can be done on the handheld while logged in under your username.
